All I would like to see improved in the theropods is their predatory behavior, meaning being capable of hunting larger prey and not running away from a mere tiger. Other than that everything looks perfect :)

I personally think that you should look into making a new animation set for large theropods before u do anymore as there are only three members in the community that I know of who are able to do that, you, Benzoomaster & Harlequins Ego. Raptor animations just dont cut it when it comes to your creatures.

If I had more time on my hands I would do that, but currently that is not possible. Maybe during the semester vacations.

Gonna start concepting the velo later, wont be easy to merge the colour pattern with feathers. Did velo have primaries on the feet or just on the hands? I'm not certain weather to go the foot-wing-way or not xD

There'll be no foot-walking! Just air-flying!

IRRC, they had it on the legs as well :P It's the most realistic way, so I'd go for it. ;)

I honestly think the only "new" animations the therapods need could be a little tweaking with their roaring, the movement on the spinosaurus looks very good, but I have to agree I think the scartching animations should go, they look weird, just my opinion. And of course this up to HENDRIX to decide whether or not he wants to do all of this.

The scratching can be removed quite easily xD

I'd indeed suggest removing some anims, like the kickfighting :P

I assume there's no direct evidence for them having wings on the legs but it's implicated as Microraptor has them, the derived species could also have them. Is that current knowledge?

Yes, it is. They might've also had legs without remiges.

I'm honestly not so sure about the primaries. While earlier deinonychosaurs like Microraptor, Sinornithosaurus, and Anchiornis had primaries on all four limbs, it's probably only because they were arboreal gliders. Leg primaries could've become a handicap for ground-dwellers like Velociraptor and Deinonychus. Of course, I'm probably wrong about this as usual. :P

Depends of course on how long you make them xD If you give them long wing feathers it's a handicap, if you keep them rather short it won't really be a handicap at all :P

As long as it's not a half-naked-arsed raptor it's good though xD

Yeah, those ugly half-plucked dinosaurs look even worse than scaled ones in my opinion xD

Is this (primaries emerging parallel from all over the 2nd finger) or the one with primaries spreading radially representation correct?

[Not doing constructive criticism btw with that picture]

I bet you'll do a great job on the next dino of course.

And can people just shut up about the whole feathers and no feathers thing, it's really annoying me. xD
